Beat the Winter Blues With Some Self Love and Mindfulness
We all know that feeling of dread as the weather starts to get greyer, the nights get longer and it rains… All. The. Time. It can feel as though Spring will never come and it can have a profound effect on your mood and emotional health.
Here at Shibumi, we want to try and help make the Winter feel a little brighter and we believe it is so important to take a moment away from the Christmas madness to indulge in some self-love and really take care of your own wellbeing.
In this article, we’ll explore some different ways to make each day feel a little more special and colourful.

Start the day right… It’s so important when the weather is miserable and grey to inject some colour into your wardrobe. Wearing warming colours like red and orange can really help to lift your mood. For a comfortable, stylish and warm outfit, perfect for work or the dreaded Christmas shopping choose a Shibumi Grace Coat in Electric Moss cashmere, some smart high-waisted jeans from GAP, gorgeous brown suede Regina boots from Fairfax and Favor, and to finish the look a classic Heritage Bayswater handbag in Oxblood Leather, by Mulberry.
You’ll feel warm, cosy and uplifted.

After a long day, whether it be at the office or getting ready for the festivities; it’s vital to feed yourself well! Take off your jacket, give yourself a warming hug by wrapping one of our Shibumi cashmere shawls around your shoulders and take some time to prepare this gorgeously warming, spicy Chicken Noodle Soup from BBC Goodfood . You can even prepare enough of this to take to work the next day!
After dinner, snuggle up on your sofa with a big mug of Liberty’s Hot Chocolate, made from real chocolate flakes, in an Emma Bridgewater heart mug; this is an indulgent treat that everyone will love.

Time for a Bath…
Instead of the usual quick shower, take some extra time to relax with a long, hot bath. Surround yourself with Pacifica organic soy candles, we love the Tuscan Blood Orange scent at this time of year! Fill your bath with the glorious bubbles of Neal’s Yard Aromatic Foaming Bath and soak away.
When you’re ready, step out of the bath and into our Shibumi Reversible Dressing Gown in Venetian Red cashmere, you’ll never want to take it off!
To continue the relaxation, take a few drops of DoTerra’s ‘Peace’ aromatherapy oil in your hands, rub them together gently and bring to your face; do some slow, deep inhalation and you will truly feel at one with the world.

It’s time for bed! Make yourself a warming cup of Pukka’s Night Time tea, add a few drops of DoTerra’s ‘Console’ aromatherapy oil to your pillows and feel a sense of calm and comfort wash over you.
Snuggle under one of Shibumi’s stunning cashmere Bed Throws for the perfect warm, cosy and beautiful night’s sleep.
We find that reading a good book before sleep can really help to alleviate stress and take you to another world, our favourite read at the moment is The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak, such a lovely story that warms your heart and is all about self-love.
